Hell yea! Got the same stuff for the same price but with CS:S swapped for Portal 2. Great deal. Sold my copy of The Orange Box a while back, so was wanting to pick up HL2.

Thanks for the link M_F_A_H and advice lupe guillotine.
I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling after moving my steam apps...

Edit: Tried the "reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Beta" thing and it seemed to work... I had to log in again, but then got a message that it could't connect to steam network.
Tried again and it seems ok.. except I've lost layout preferences.. and most of my games are "updating" no big deal

You CANNOT build any deck you want from the available cards. I used to have that old Microprose MtG game too. I wish I hadn't given it away oh so long ago. That game was like a Heroes of Might and Magic that used MtG duels to resolve combat. You buy/earn cards along the way, and you could make any deck out of the cards you had in your inventory without restriction. Etherlords I/II was a very similar game that used a different card game mechanic. Tempted to get the 2013 version, as I enjoyed the 2012 version quite a bit. If you don't have real people to play with, it can scratch that MtG itch without throwing you into the vast ocean (and money sink) that is MtG Online.

A HoMM style game with MTG for combat sounds pretty awesome.

That sounds a lot like the F2P Magic the Gathering: Tactics

Thanks, I was going crazy trying to figure out where the hell all of these copies of Mad Riders were coming from.

Damn, that's a WIDE screen!

Yeah, whenever I suddenly see a bunch of copies of a single game, I know something is up.

Got portal 2 n l4d2 for 8 bucks. Not bad @ all.

Much obliged. Better than the LEGO pack or GTA deal for me. CS:S, all the HLF2 stuff and Portal for $10. Had the first two for Xbox but they're staples on PC.

& so is the GTA Collection gone now? I still want to hold out on that.
I've already beaten and played the hell out of GTA IV on my once working 360 so all I'm really interested in are the Episodes from LC if it really is gone

It might be $25 again. This brings up another IMPORTANT STEAM SALE RULE!

If a game price is discounted pretty heavily or if the prices seems "crazy", BUY THAT MOFO FAST AS HELL!!! it's probably a GLITCH and will be CORRECTED eventually. This will then lead to pages of people pissed they missed the "glitch".

Yes, you can then be like the rest us that have been patiently waiting for Episode 3 since.....too damn long...

I've heard that the optimization issues are fixed. I think I might finally play through the expansions after I finish Costume Quest and Oblivion.

I picked up Half-life 2 and parts 1 and 2. Do these usually come with Deathmatch, Lost Coast, and Deathmatch Source because they are now in my library?

It's good to see another CAG that decided to play Costume Quest around the applicable holiday. I just finished the main game, and I'm currently working on the DLC scenario. (Humorously enough, the DLC scenario seems to be appropriate for the upcoming season.) So far, the game's been perfect for getting my mind off work.

Now, I just have to get my mind off my Steam backlog.

Yeah, those are basically freebie throw-ins. Lost Coast is about a twenty minute tech demo of sorts that show off the Source upgrades between HL2 and the episodes.

I had been wanting to play it for awhile and I wanted to finish it by last Wednesday but I got too busy with other things.

That's what I've heard about the DLC. Maybe, I will get through the main game and save the DLC for December...

Try to just ignore that hideously long list.

Thanks. I thought that was the case but was surprised to see them selling Deathmatch for 4.99 by itself.

you can get torchlight 2 for 15.99 with coupon code BETATHANKS at gamefly.com does anyone know if you get steam keys from them ?

Yes. I got my personal TL2 steam key from them. The only version of TL2 that isn't steam is directly from the devels IIRC. Steam will have the nice advantage of getting the Mac version when it is released.

While reading my RSS feeds, found one from PC Gamer for a Hawken 2 Beta key.

They're giving away 10,000 keys, just fill out the form on this link.

Steam keeps giving me DOTA 2s. Is there anyone out there who doesn't yet have this? PM me a link to your Steam profile.
